Notes from Mrs. Schwartz, Principal of Morley

Morley School has 498 students who are excited to do their best job of learning. As families and faculty, I believe we share the same excitement and responsibility to make sure that every year is the best year of learning for each and every child. Morley's goals for 2007-2008 are to emphasize the importance of learning, making certain that school time is used to maximize learning, and that traditional academic disciplines are well at the heart of what we do. High expectations for instruction, curriculum, and discipline continue to receive our strong support and attention!

In 2007-2008, we want each parent and child to realize a great sense of belonging at Morley. It is ever so important that a partnership exists between home and school.

As well we know, volunteers can make an important difference to our children. Reading a story to children, listening to a child read, helping a child with math facts, sharing a career with young people, helping in the Library Media Center, inviting seniors and neighbors to be a part of learning at school, are all ways in which positive support will help children in their educational journey.

I know we have entered not only the new school year, but also the new century, working together for our children's futures. We have done this very well in past years, and will continue our quest for excellence in education.

As Morley's principal, I am proud to share my philosophy with you, which includes:
* Extending dignity to each individual I meet.
* Increasing academic opportunities for student achievement and success.
* Facilitating validated innovations, solutions, and decisions.
* Promoting cooperative, responsible learners of all ages and stages.
* Collaborating with students, families, teachers, and the community to increase learning variables for students.
* Promoting practices for a secure and safe environment for children.

Thank you for visiting Morley's web site. I hope you can come and visit us at Morley School.

Sincerely, Coni J. Schwartz
